Leah's yoga journey started in 2018 with the help of her sister-in-law. Leah always had a natural flexibility and felt it was finally time to explore & build upon it through the beautiful practice of yoga. She quickly realized how wonderful yoga is for not only the body, but for the mind & spirit. Through the power of strong vinyasa flow, mindful meditation, and pranayama techniques, Leah began to experience the benefits first hand, and wants to share it with others! She completed her RYT-200 in June 2024 with Soo Yoon at Release Yoga Studio - a place she calls her second home due to the amazing close knit & supportive community that she feels lucky to be a part of! Leah looks forward to guiding you through a fun & energetic flow that will leave you feeling strong & empowered! When she's not on her mat, Leah lives in Hillsdale with her husband & enjoys the beach & a nice glass of wine!
Debbie Shapiro
Debbie is a teacher, wayshower, and conscious channel whose spiritual inquiry began in 2005 and leveled up in 2013 when her studies and best efforts failed to help her manage the unmanageable parts of her life. At that point she had her first experience of spiritual surrender and awakening. Over the years, Debbie’s daily devotion to spiritual development has taken her on an ever-unfolding journey of growth and life betterment. Debbie, a Reiki Master Practitioner with a M.Ed. from Rutgers and a Certificate in Positive Psychology from Kripalu, was a high school English teacher for 20 years and a positive psychology workshop creator and facilitator for 13 years. Debbie brings this education and experience as well as years of spiritual initiations/integration, and, most recently, channeling, which she learned from Joy and Matt Kahn, to teaching spiritual education.
